This sparkling debut dives right in to everything funny, flirty, and fiery about modern dating with the tale of a sexy singles auction that comes with the prize of a lifetime… As far as Cherry Ryan is concerned, the bright lights of Hollywood are nothing but glare after her heart is broken on a reality show for millions to see. Instead she’s throwing herself into fundraising for the local community center that was a priceless lifeline to her as a kid. But when a volunteer for the singles auction bails at the last minute, Cherry finds herself on the block—and sold to Jason Valentine, a handsome contractor with a gorgeous body—and a really bad attitude about her days in the limelight… Cherry soon finds that Jason’s more than eye candy, and not entirely sweet—especially his quest to win the bid for the center’s renovation. Mixing business with pleasure doesn’t seem like such a good idea—until Jason has a chance to reveal the big heart beneath his surly exterior. Cherry’s falling for him hard, but trust isn’t easy when you’ve been burned. To conquer her fears will take a giant leap of faith—straight into the spotlight again…

In this sexy new series, author Gail Chianese celebrates the heart—and the heat—of modern dating. This time, a temporary boyfriend may be the right man for a permanent position… The only girl in a family of five brothers, Tawny Torres has had enough of waiting on men. She has her life and her career all mapped out, and neither includes an apron, an iron, or a husband—yet. But when a new job emphasizes a healthy balance of work and play, she needs a guy to stand in as her love interest at a company picnic. Gorgeous charmer David “King of Pleasure” Farber fits the bill perfectly—so well that Tawny is shocked to realize she’s having a hard time letting him go… David’s a confirmed bachelor, but he can’t get enough of Tawny’s firecracker combination of tough and tender. Unfortunately, he’s overloaded with work at his construction firm and now definitely isn’t the time for distraction—he struggles enough with that already. Still, he can’t ignore his feelings for Tawny. He’ll just have to convince her that he’s more than a boyfriend-for-hire. And she’ll have to prove he can trust her with his biggest secret…

I blamed it on sleep deprivation. It was the curse of an ER doctor and the only excuse I had for making one bad decision after another. Applying to Finding Mr. Right, a reality dating show. Signing the contestant contract. Going to my ex-fiancé for legal help. If anyone could have gotten me out of the agreement, it was Brody, but we had too much history between us. Just seeing him again... The last person I expected to grace my door was Denise. She canceled our wedding five years ago. Ghosted me after a weekend fling four months ago. Now she needed my legal help? I never could tell her no. I've never stopped loving her and this mess she's gotten herself into, there's only one way I can protect her, but she's not going to like it. I expected surprises, hijinks, and shenanigans on Finding Mr. Right, but meeting the last contestant—Brody—has left me trying to decide if I'm irritated or intrigued. The bachelors are hot, interesting, and charming, but they're not Brody and I can't deny...he's The One—and always has been. But once I come clean about the past, there may be one less bachelor.
